Overview
This summer will be a lot noisier than usual. 17-year Brood X (ten) cicadas are expected to emerge in the billions in every part of the WEMU listening area. The last irruption was in 2004.
Periodical cicadas are thought to have evolved the 17-year pattern to avoid predation. They are eaten by nearly anything that can fit them in their mouths, so the survival strategy is to win by sheer numbers. The event will last about two months, beginning in May when the soil warms to 64°F. The nymphs crawl up the trunk of the tree where they molt into the adult form.

Some key safety points for extension ladders:
Set an extension ladder at the proper angle. When a ladder is leaned against a wall, the bottom of the ladder should be one-quarter of the ladder’s working length away from the wall. For access to an elevated work surface, extend the top of the ladder three feet above that surface or secure the ladder at its top.
Before starting work, survey the area for potential hazards, such as energized overhead power lines. Ladders shall have nonconductive side rails if they are used where the worker or the ladder could contact exposed energized electrical equipment. Keep all ladders and other tools at least 10 feet away from any power lines.
